Pain and my inner-most self
Pain has been on my mind lately as I re-write parts of a book. Specifically, I expose how pain has been a teacher in my life. I remember when I first named the chapter that and showed it to someone, they immediately flipped the page and remarked that no one wants to read…

Second chance
This week, I am in a place I’d hoped not to be: a fibro flare-up. I have managed incredibly well since last fall and, almost, convinced myself this wouldn’t happen again.…

A single act
It’s been a full week from one extreme to the next, life transitions, ups and downs and little time for quiet or spaciousness; yet there have been moments. Perhaps more than I have noticed.

I AM proof
Last night was magical. I danced home knowing that this is where I belong, what I should be doing and who I am.

Repellant child of God
Bullying carries a lot of weight these days; it's weighing heavily on me. More so on my youngest.
The situation is not overt, more under the radar, which makes it more difficult terrain. I keep asking myself if what she describes and I have observed firsthand is, indeed, bullying. It borders more on stalking. I…

Recognizing the ruby slippers
In some reflective journaling this morning, I came up with a new equation:
